Just had this happen on my '2023 Rubicon.. lost the top bolt on the driver's side. Caliper rubbed the inside of the rim...Nice silver machining job on the black rim... Waiting for new bolts to be delivered and going to Lock-tite the shit out of them.

Yeah that's the same one!

Just got back from Moab with a 10 Jeep group. Only problem over 5 days was one Gladiator lost a rear caliper bolt, the other one was only finger tight. We all scrounged through our on-board kits, one Jeeper had a spare that we trail installed with blue loctite. It is important to check these periodically, especially the fronts that can come out and cause complete tire lock up--not fun at 75 mph on a freeway!
